Chapter 238: Silver Has No White Flowers (Part II)
Although it is a special combat method that can only be implemented with the help of the system, the more Li Hui thinks about it, the more he feels a little familiar, and after a few minutes, he patted his thigh and understood, "By the way, it is Genghis Khan's western expedition, and the strategic maneuver in large depth without a rear is simply the same in this regard!" ”
However, unlike Genghis Khan's western expedition, although this "cavalry" force also has a lot of troops, because of the change in the mode of war, it can only be used as a partial division rather than the main force. But considering that there must be a large force on the front line to confront the enemy's main force, it is impossible for the enemy country to have enough mobile forces to deal with them in a short period www.biquge.info of time.
Even if the enemy is prepared after suffering losses, this special cavalry unit can still exert a containment effect at least three times its own strength, and its role in the overall strategic situation can almost be compared to a million troops on the frontal battlefield! Even in a world war, this is equivalent to forcing the enemy country to open a whole new front!
However, to Li Hui's slight regret, the goal of delegating authority must be in front of Li Hui, and the same is true when it is withdrawn (if it is killed, it will be automatically withdrawn.) Therefore, there is still a lot of wasted time, and at the same time it can only be used in one strategic direction, for example, if you want to use this trick to deal with Lao Maozi, you will not be able to use it to support the Nanyang battlefield.
In addition, in order to avoid suspicion and to facilitate deployment, the Level 5 agent had to act alone before the troops, and there was a danger that the enemy would find out and take them down along the way, which undermined the effectiveness of this special tactic. And as China's power grows, its help will be relatively diminished.
But even so, the acquisition of this new authority is still enough for Li Hui to reconsider his overall layout......
"The essence of the South Seas is all along the coast, in fact, the help of this special supply method is not particularly great, at least it cannot be compared with the battlefields of Xinjiang, Central Asia and Siberia, but the benefits of fighting with Tsarist Russia are not great, if this factor is also taken into account, the most suitable place is actually the ...... of North America", Li Hui thought of this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Hui sent people to Alaska before, the main purpose was to dig up gold, and at the same time, by the way, he could only give a little blood to the US imperialists, because a wild place like Alaska could not support the battle of the large army at all, which was conducive to the survival of the gold troops, but also limited their results.
But with this new authority, it is different, Li Hui only needs to send the selected agent to provide supplies, he can maintain an army of tens of thousands of people there, if there is enough time to complete the reserve, then it is not impossible to support 100,000 or even 100,000 troops in a month or two, considering the superiority of weapons and equipment, if the Chinese army picks elite troops, the exchange ratio is at least ten times, and now the US Federal Army has only tens of thousands of standing troops......
But even so, it is still impossible to destroy the United States in a long way, because the vast depth of the United States can buy them enough time, and the private armed forces of the state militias and big business groups that far exceed the total number of federal army troops allow the US government to pull up an army of hundreds of thousands with enough combat strength in less than a month. The latter, in particular, surpasses the regular army in terms of total strength, weaponry, equipment, and training, and is absolutely not to be underestimated.
As long as the war lasts for more than half a year, the United States' population of more than 70 million and its tradition of serving soldiers and civilians will begin to show its power, and considering that this is a war of self-defense, the upper limit of the number of troops that the United States can mobilize and the limit of casualties it can tolerate will certainly be higher than that of World War I and World War II.
Referring to the similar situation of the American Civil War, the United States, with a total population of just over 31 million at that time, mobilized millions of troops, and almost one in ten Americans served as soldiers; And its ability to endure casualties is even more terrifying, the American Southern army finally surrendered after killing 260,000 people, accounting for 5% of the total number of white people in the South, in addition to at least 100,000 civilians killed in the South, according to the current American population estimates, it is almost necessary for the United States to kill three or four million soldiers and lose five or six million people before the United States can be forced to submit......
Even if there is a generation gap in weapons and a huge advantage in strategic mobility, an army that can only kill more than 100,000 people will definitely not be able to destroy so many American troops. But for at least two or three years before the United States compensates for its weapons superiority, a tenfold exchange ratio would be enough to cost Americans more than ever before, and it would not only be a direct blow to America's national power, but would also effectively prevent European immigration and capital from flowing to the Americas. For an immigrant country like the United States, this is even more fatal than a direct loss.
"After such a toss, even if the United States can still retain the status of a first-class power, it will not be able to become the giant that has occupied more than one-third of the world's industrial output before World War I, and if it dies, it will have the grade of the Soviet Union on the eve of World War II, right? Maybe the quality will be higher? But how many people could the United States have at that time? Overall, it's still a grade, right? Thinking of this, Li Hui couldn't help but sneer, "What's more, no matter what the results of this army are, it can at least occupy a large territory in North America, with this foothold, we can continue to increase our troops to North America, and when we are inferior, we will rely on the Rocky Mountains to fight defensive counterattacks, and when we are superior, we will send troops deep into the central plains of the United States to wreak havoc, and I don't believe that the United States will be consumed......
The world is so big, but Li Hui has been keeping an eye on the United States, which is not yet visible in the international arena at this time, not because he has crossed the grievances between the former two countries, but can only blame the United States for being too tempting in this "chosen place".
The mineral resources of the United States are not only abundant, but also almost more comprehensive than the whole of Asia, and the mining costs are generally low.
If we take the pursuit of grain production as the guide, according to China's agricultural science and technology level and per capita grain consumption in the early 21 st century (in fact, it already includes meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other non-staple foods), the United States' agriculture is enough to feed 3 billion people, more than the sum of East and Southeast Asia. With such a good crop land, Chinese have children casually without worrying about not having enough to eat, and under the premise that the country has been industrialized, the more the population means the stronger the national strength......
What is even more rare is that the United States is still vast and sparsely populated, and as long as it can occupy it, it will be even less difficult to digest than Southeast Asia at the same value...... (To be continued.) )
